πŸ“’ NEW: Real Living Wage rates βœ… Β£14.10 an hour across the UK βœ… Β£15.45 an hour in London A welcome boost for low-paid workers. But with the squeeze of the cost-of-living crisis, everyone who works should earn enough to live on. UNISON - fighting for fair pay for all.

Huge picket at Glasgow Caledonian University with UCU, EIS, Unison and Unite all on strike. Hundreds hearing from Jo Grady and other unions' general secretaries. Spending millions buying land while cutting jobs makes no sense #SaveHE #StopTheCuts

Sending solidarity to our colleagues from LSBU Unison
London south bank wants to sack 66 academics and rehire them on worse contracts before Christmas. That's fire and rehire. Our members rallied on campus today. LSBU has now agreed to talks at ACAS. Management needs to come ready to listen.

When a university says that it's going to 'save money' by 'restructuring', it means that it's going to sack lots of people, nudge lots of people into voluntary severance, and this 'restructuring' is actually going to cost millions.

Well said, @AndreaEgan! ✊ At City St George’s, our cleaning colleagues are outsourced, despite being an essential part of keeping our university running. It’s time to recognise the workers who keep our campuses running every day! @RMTunion @CityStGeorges #InsourcingNow
Every year, billions of pounds are sucked out of our public services by corporate profiteers. @unisontheunion are joining up with @RMTunion to fight back. Join the campaign now: β†˜οΈπŸ“· insourcenow.co.uk

Glasgow Caledonian Uni staff are on strike as up to 100 jobs are at risk of compulsory redundancy. Universities would not function without professional service staff, yet they face real-terms pay cuts and the constant thread of redundancy. #FundOurFuture #FundOurPay #Solidarity

Solidarity with UNISON members at Glasgow Caledonian university on strike today. With reserves of Β£90m and growing, compulsory redundancies are a choice, not a necessity. Employers should be working with unions to protect jobs, not pushing through cuts. #Solidarity πŸ’œβœŠ
